Rumors

Rumors
Suggestions beyond rational thought
Entertain you
A Hypnotic intrusion.

I knew you once
Understood your inner working
Like a Swiss watch
Fine and precise.

You stepped
Into a new world
A universe out of step
With the one we knew.

A new fire lights your eyes
A blue blaze
Electric
Flickering.

I would have you back
The familiar
The warm you
I once knew.

But you are given to rumors
Suggestions beyond rational thought
And from that place
There is no return.
